The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said its field team has documented Israeli air strikes at midnight on Saturday, September 7, targeting the Halimah al-Saadiyah School in Jabalia Al-Nazla, north of the Gaza Strip.

The building was sheltering hundreds of forcibly displaced people. The attack killed four Palestinians and injured others.

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli aircraft also bombed Amr Ibn al-Aas School, another shelter for displaced people north of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians, including a child.

According to the human rights group, since the beginning of August, Israel has bombed 16 schools used as shelters in the Gaza Strip, killing 217 Palestinians and injuring hundreds – many of them women and children.
